When I was a consultant my freelance rate rule of thumb was to start with the desired yearly salary, multiply by two, then divide by 2080. An hourly rate of $96 should cover marketing, vacation, other overhead, and FICA match and leave you with a salary of $100,000.

BTW, the only way I’ve managed to get a raise in the past 6 years has been to get a new job. This works quite well, fortunately. The most important part of this strategy is to decide on the salary well in advance. And then to practice saying that number out loud many times while still at home.

Jeff, you are a hero. Thanks so much for the huge task of capturing and posting all these podcasts.

Question – was Matthew Milan’s “Structure of Strategy” session recorded?
